He seriously gets involved in big fish angling when he was 25 years old. Starting from land-base fishing from the rock, he fishes for giant grouper/jewfish, giant trevally and other big fishes. In 1988 he formed fishing club “Grouper Boys” and since then he travels almost every month across Japan and around the world for fishing expeditions.

In 1993, he started a new fishing technique using heavy jigs to fish water above 100-meter depth. He called the technique “Super Deep-Jigging”, and this technique is now very popular in Japan.

He will travel to any place in the world, Africa or Costa Rica or anywhere if he heard he could catch big fish there. He doesn’t like trolling though, and prefers lure casting. If you want to know more about him, please drop him a line. Please let him know also if you have any new information for fishing outside Japan.
